Just after the middle palguin, we took to the road in Rodrigo's sick van, headed to the Rio Agrio, and hoping to find new waterfalls to the north. Argentina is a beautiful country, With huge mountains and interesting landscape. On this trip, we were not able to find any sweet new waterfalls, and only were able to go kayaking once, on the Rio Agrio. We spent four days in the car, and only went kayaking once. Sometimes, you just dont find what you are looking for. We tried to cross the border back to chile after the agrio, however were shut down. We drove to the argentina border on a dirt road high in the mountains, trying to cross to Chile, finding that the road had been washed out we turned around, and headed back to Pucon shut down on our First D Mission.

Rodrigo's van and our campsite right next to Rio Agrio. The Rio Agrio is a high desert creek that comes out of a sulfur spring high in the mountains. The water is very potent, it stings your eyes, and destroys your nostrils. The waterfalls on this creek are beautiful and it is a very unique place. Although we didnt do much kayaking, we experienced a very different place, and had fun anyways.

Arocaria trees, a very unique tree typical of the area around the Agrio.Jared Seiler gettin er done on the top drop. It turned out to be a bit low to have good lines on this one. Jared hit a few rocks on the way down.
